INSTALLATION

SELECTING A

LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top or table, or mount it on a wall. Select a location that is:

near an AC outlet

near a telephone line jack

out of the way of normal activities

away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless inter- coms, alarms, and room monitors

away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the hand- set’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Caution: The supplied RadioShack AC adapter was designed specifically for your ET-917. Use only the supplied adapter.

Notes:

Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a mod- ular jack, you can update the wir- ing yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.

The phone company will charge you for the installation of neces- sary jacks.

The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (RJ11W if you want to mount it on a wall plate).

Placing the Base on a

Desk Top

Follow these steps when you place the base on a desk, shelf, or table.

1.Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL.LINE jack on the back of the base.

2.Plug the modular cord’s other end into a modular phone line jack.
